The following uses are not permitted on shared hosting environments, and may be restricted on other plans: high-volume adult content, HYIP or investment schemes, bulk SMS gateways, and any service designed primarily to facilitate the activities prohibited by this AUP.

You may not register domain names in bad faith, in violation of a third party's trademark, or to impersonate another person or organization. Domain registrations must use accurate registrant contact information and comply with all applicable registry and ICANN policies.

7. Reporting and Enforcement

We investigate reported violations and may remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate this AUP. Where activity poses an immediate risk to us, our customers, or third parties, we may act without prior notice. We cooperate with law enforcement where legally required.
